Build Your Own Face Recognition Service Using Amazon Rekognition Amazon Web Services

Amazon Rekognition is a service that makes it easy to add image analysis to your applications. It's based on the same proven, highly scalable, deep learning technology developed by Amazon's computer vision scientists to analyze billions of images daily for Amazon Prime Photos. Facial recognition enables you to find similar faces in a large collection of images. In this post, I'll show you how to build your own face recognition service by combining the capabilities of Amazon Rekognition and other AWS services, like Amazon DynamoDB and AWS Lambda. This enables you to build a solution to create, maintain, and query your own collections of faces, be it for the automated detection of people within an image library, building access control, or any other use case you can think of.
